TOOTH WHITENING - Beverly Hills / Los Angeles |
|
| |
Tooth
whitening is probably the most popular cosmetic
dental procedure today. Using a hydrogen peroxide
based gel, tooth whitening can be very effective
in lightening stained or yellow teeth, or teeth
that have turned gray as the result of taking
Tetracycline during childhood. People who have
stains from years of smoking, coffee or red wine
can also get very good results with teeth
whitening.
There are two commonly used
techniques for professional tooth whitening:
in-office bleaching or take home bleaching.
In office bleaching
: In office bleaching is a quick, easy
way to get very fast results. A protective gel is
applied to your gums and lips. A bleaching gel is
then applied to the teeth and a high intensity
light or laser in used to activate the gel. Your
teeth are monitored and the process is repeated,
as your dentist deems necessary. The process
usually takes 1-2 hours, and the results are
visible immediately.
In office
bleaching : Take home bleaching starts
with the dentist taking an impression of your
mouth to make custom fitted trays. The trays are
tried on to make sure they fit correctly, and the
dentist gives you a solution of hydrogen or
carbamide peroxide to use at home for a period of
time. It may take several weeks of overnight
treatments to reach your desired results. Take
home bleaching treatments can be used instead of
in-office laser whitening, or it may used to
enhance or prolong the effects of your laser tooth
whitening treatment.
Side effects
: The most common side effect with either
in-office or home bleaching is sensitivity to
temperature, which usually disappears within a few
days.
Cost : Take home
bleaching treatments cost about $500 to $1000.
In-office professional tooth whitening may cost
$1000 or more per treatment, and more than one
treatment may be necessary to reach your desire
level of whiteness and
brightness.
Results : With
proper care, your white teeth can remain beautiful
for many years. Coffee, tea, wine, and smoking
will contribute to early discoloration. |
